"There are questions that need to be addressed, but I think it is important programme. FIBA Europe is working and trying to do something very important for basketball. It is clever to be discussing this."

"I think FIBA Europe is doing a good job," said Hernandez.

"Coaches need to talk in all parts of Europe."
